👀 What does bioinformatics look like in practise? This year's SIB Profile cover shows an example. See how connecting scattered data on plant chemicals can help identify new drugs and more – and explore further highlights of our impact on science and society – in the #SIBProfile 2025: https://issuu.com/sibswissinstituteofbioinformatics/docs/sib_profile_2025_-_data_scientists_for_life

The cover image was generated by SIB scientists Luis Quiros Guerrero and Marco Pagni, as part of a Sinergia project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation @snsf_ch
